Registered: 12/29/12 Posts: 5792 Loc: Originally Missouri ... Now Al... Al-David Veteran Registered: 12/29/12 Posts: 5792 Loc: Originally Missouri ... Now Al...	Di and I sat down one day and decided to write and record a few Blues songs. We're particularly fond of Blues Rock and Chicago Style Blues. This is one of four Blues songs we wrote over a two-day time frame. We see it as a Chicago-style Blues with hints of Dr. John. Thanks in advance for taking some of your valuable time to listen. I had a "frog in my throat" on the first couple of lines. I was gonna redo it but Di said, "Leave it , I like it". Being a good hubby, I did as she said! http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=11709220 File:Al - Just Me And Myself.MGU Key=F , Tempo 110, Length (m:s)=3:25 No intro. 90 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 90. Repeat x1 chorus Soloist track has 393 notes, saved patch is Music Box (11), embedded patch on track is Distorted Rock Guit (31), at bar -1 Song is saved with bar changes for Patches,Volume Changes, Style is DRJONSHF.STY (DrJon Shuffle Blues) Style MIDI Instruments are : Acoustic String Bass (33), Acoustic Piano (1), RealTracks in song: ~~950:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm CountryBoogieA-B Sw 110 RealTracks in song: ~685:Harmonica, Background Pop Ev 120 RealTracks in song: ~383:Guitar, Slide, Soloist Blues Sw 120 MIDI Drums :1 Standard Drum Kit (1) ***************** Just Me And Myself (v1) Guess you could say I'm a loner Oh but that suits me just fine Some folks say I should mingle But I don't pay them no never mind I mind my own business Try to keep myself in line (v2) I like my independence No rules except my own Ain't no one I owe an answer No time I need to be back home I'm short on conversation I don't even have no phone CHORUS I love them pretty ladies But I don't want one all the time Friends sometimes dessert you When you're in a real tight bind Don't need nobody else Just me and my self INSTRUMENTAL VERSE (v3) Guess some people might be okay If they don't get too close But when they're headed the other way That's when I like then the most And people are all the same From East to West Coast (v4) Don't slave myself to no one And nobody owns my soul The bestest friends I ever had Was a line and a fishing pole Minding my own business That's just the way I go REPAT CHORUS (c) 2012 Alan D.

Sometimes it's a little hard to make the blues new and interesting but with your lyrics you and Di did a nice job. The slide solo was just perfect. Nice editing. Tom

Terrific instrumentation and tasty playing. An excellent vocal (for this style song, I thought it could sit back in the mix a little more). I liked it. floyd _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

Why, thank you so much for those very nice comments. For me, the lyric is always the hardest part. The music comes to me fairly easily. Being a published author, you would think I would breeze right through the lyric. But, that's not the case. Writing a book and writing a song or so different. We're quite thrilled by your very kind words. Thanks again!!!

Thank you for that very tasty comment! You're probably right about the vox being a little more forward than it needs to be. As soon as I get a chance, I'll drop it back a little bit. I think part of the problem was I used two different sets of headphones during the mix (thanks to an 8 year-old grandson who made a hasty exit from the computer with the headphones on. The plug had a 90-degree turn in it when he was finished!!! We appreciate those very kind words. Best to you... Al & Di PS: Al or Alan ... either is OK. My friends and family call me Alan. In the music biz I'm known as Al. I guess I have a very slight preference for Alan...because that's the name by which the royalty checks know me! _________________________ BIAB 2018 Ultra Plus-all StylePaksWin108GB DDR4I5-6th GenAT 2035 MicPeavey Nashville 112 AmpIbanez ART120 Electric/Washburn D200S Acoustic*Stromberg Monterey Jazz Guitar Loops: https://aldavidmusic.wixsite.com/bestmusicloops

Thank you for the listen and your very kind words. We're delighted you enjoyed it. One of the best songs I (Al) ever wrote took me 45 minutes from the first word of the lyric to the finished recording. Sometimes you get lucky and things just fall into place. Over the next several weeks I'll post the other three Blues numbers we wrote. Thank you again! Wishing you the very best... Al & Di PS: Our family doctor is from South Africa...not sure which city. Her family name is Moolman. She tells me it's relatively common name there. We adore her!!!! _________________________ BIAB 2018 Ultra Plus-all StylePaksWin108GB DDR4I5-6th GenAT 2035 MicPeavey Nashville 112 AmpIbanez ART120 Electric/Washburn D200S Acoustic*Stromberg Monterey Jazz Guitar Loops: https://aldavidmusic.wixsite.com/bestmusicloops

You got me from the git go, i.e. head boppin’ and foot tappin’. Great vocal, backing tracks and mix. You should be very proud of this one. _________________________ I don't like to brag about expensive trips but I did just return from the gas station. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB and RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software and some hardware

This song has it. Well done! _________________________ J&B Soundcloud J&B YouTube J&B Website
